Not impossible. I've had it working fine for a few months now.

As am I
I downloaded the 1.4 Blackdown JRE install file (not the debian package)
and used the java-package package to create a debian package out of it.
I then installed the created package and java-common.
Packages in debian used:
java-package
java-common
File from Blackdown used:
http://ftp2.skynet.be/pub/ftp.blackdown.org/JDK-1.4.2/amd64/02/j2re-1.4.2-02-linux-amd64.bin
(I can't remember the exact version I used but this should be ok)
That was about it.
Just check to see if you have a
symlink /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/plugins/libjavaplugin_oji.so pointing
to /usr/lib/j2re1.4-blackdown/plugin/amd64/mozilla/libjavaplugin_oji.so
If not create it yourself and all should be good.
